Styx and stones
The city within
the rise and fall of it
a world driven
by light and by words
a word-world so to speak
built of star-blood
what it costs to be poor
what it costs to love
what is costs
to succeed
what it costs
to fail
Mythology tells us
there are two sides
to every river
I have crossed the Danube
back and forth
and survived longer
than I would
have imagined
John Lyons
